USDJPY Forecast: Insights for the New Week & Follow-Up AnalysisThe Japanese yen experienced a slight decline as the Bank of Japan maintained its ultra-loose policy. However, it managed to recover some of its early losses following the BOJ decision, though it remained close to seven-month lows against the dollar. The BOJ opted to keep interest rates unchanged at record lows and expressed its intention to continue the yield curve control policy in support of economic growth. The bank also forecasted above-average strength in the Japanese economy for the year.
The yen had been weighed down by expectations of a dovish BOJ, especially as the Federal Reserve signaled a relatively hawkish stance, indicating a widening gap between Japanese and U.S. interest rates. While the Fed had previously paused rate hikes, it foresees at least two more increases this year due to inflation trending above the central bank's target range.
Nevertheless, weak U.S. economic indicators such as slowing industrial production, steady jobless claims, and sluggish retail sales raised doubts about the extent to which the Fed could continue raising interest rates.
Anticipated higher U.S. interest rates for a longer period are likely to restrict significant gains in Asian markets. In the upcoming week, we will focus on economic events from both the U.S. and Japan, including the BoJ Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes and the Fed Chair's testimony before Congress. How will these events impact the USDJPY from a technical standpoint?
During the video, I provide detailed analysis of the USDJPY's bullish and bearish sentiment, primarily focusing on price action-based technical indicators. We identify key support and resistance levels within the 4-hour timeframe to uncover potential trading opportunities. Notably, we highlight a significant level around 142.000 that was recently tested, and how market participants react to this level at the start of the new week may play a critical role in determining the direction of price action in the upcoming week.

USDJPY: Economic volatility!During the Asian session on Wednesday, the USD/JPY pair faced selling pressure, causing a partial erosion of the previous day's gains that had exceeded the 144.00 level, reaching a new high since November 2022. The spot price is currently trading around 143.80, down nearly 0.20% for the day, although any significant downward adjustments still seem elusive.
Japanese officials continue to issue warnings against the recent weakness of the Japanese Yen (JPY), which is considered a key factor driving some long-term relaxation around the USD/JPY pair. In fact, Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki stated on Tuesday that they will closely monitor the forex market with a sense of urgency and will react accordingly if currency movements become excessive. This warning was reiterated by top Japanese currency diplomat Masato Kanda earlier this Wednesday.
🚀 USDJPY | Get on board 🚀Hello.
Japan mobilised hundreds of billions of USD in its currency reserves in 2020 to defend the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) unmoved monetary policy and the JPY itself as the BoJ refused to hike the policy rate from -0.1 percent or to lift the yield cap on 10-year Japanese government bonds at 0.25 percent. As 2022 rolls into 2023, the pressure on the JPY and the Japanese financial system mounts again on the global liquidity crisis set in motion by the vicious Fed policy tightening and higher US treasury yields.

Mutiny Sends Ruble to Lowest in 15 MonthsMutiny Sends Ruble to Lowest in 15 Months
In one of the most turbulent trading sessions this year, the Russian ruble reached its lowest point against the US dollar in nearly 15 months on Monday. This decline followed the failed mutiny attempt by The Wagner group’s armed mercenaries over the weekend, which caused significant concern among traders. Initially catapulting to approximately 87 rubles per US dollar, the ruble later recovered some of its losses, settling at around 84.40, down 0.90% against the greenback.
The Wagner group, led by troops loyal to their leader, made an unexpected advancement toward Moscow, covering hundreds of miles before eventually reversing course. In a deal struck with the Kremlin, it is reported that the group's leader, Prigozhin, will go into exile in Belarus. This incident is regarded as the most significant challenge to Vladimir Putin's rule and could weaken his leadership.
The armed uprising also caused volatility in other markets. The international benchmark, Brent crude, rose by 0.8% to approximately $74 per barrel. The trading volume between the Russian ruble and Tether's USDT nearly quadrupled from $4 million on Saturday to $15 million on Sunday.
In other developments, the Japanese yen strengthened by 0.11% against the US dollar, trading at 143.50 per dollar. Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs, Masato Kanda, stated that Japan was not ruling out intervening in the currency markets again. He expressed concerns about the yen's rapid and one-sided depreciation against the dollar. Japan previously intervened in the foreign exchange markets in September and October of the previous year when the yen hit a 32-year low of nearly 152 per dollar.
We Could expect USDJPY to make a monthly higher higherThe reason why I am still firmly convinced that this movement is going to happen is supported by several compelling factors. Let's explore them in detail:
1.Non-commercials continue to aggressively add long positions in this currency pair. This indicates a strong bullish sentiment and suggests that these market participants have high expectations for its future performance. Their sustained interest and confidence in this pair contribute to my conviction.
2.Taking a closer look at the Monthly time frame, we can observe a clear and well-defined bullish structure. This pattern provides additional validation for the anticipated movement. The consistent upward trajectory of the price points towards a potential upward trend that could further strengthen the case for a positive outcome.
3.Another crucial aspect to consider is the unanimous agreement among all members of the Federal Reserve (Fed) regarding the likelihood of another interest rate hike. This collective stance underscores the consensus among policymakers that an increase in interest rates is imminent. Such a move is expected to bolster the value of the dollar, as it signifies a strengthening of the US economy and reflects the Fed's confidence in its monetary policies.
4.In contrast, the interest rate in Japan remains unchanged and continues to be in negative territory. This divergence between the interest rate policies of Japan and the United States further reinforces the potential for a favorable outcome in the currency pair. The persistent negative interest rate in Japan could lead to increased selling pressure on the yen, potentially benefiting the other currency in the pair.
Considering these factors collectively, it becomes evident why my conviction remains steadfast regarding the occurrence of this movement. The combination of aggressive long positions by non-commercials, a bullish structure on the Monthly time frame, the anticipated interest rate hike by the Fed, and the contrasting interest rate policies between Japan and the United States all contribute to a compelling case for the expected movement.

USDJPY to create another higher highUJ is still in its major uptrend as price continues to create strong higher highs and indecision lower lows. I took a buy based on the 30min structure. My target is the next daily resistance level. I believe that buying at a higher low off of a retest is a valid opportunity. Especially after a volume bullish engulfing candle.
USDJPY Daily AnalysisUSDJPY has been in an uptrend for a while after breaking my weekly keyzone. Price is presently at a resistance level. I expect price to break the resistance and continue the uptrend, or price will get rejected and possibly reverse back to the keyzone below as marked in the chart.

Bulls circle USD/JPY ahead of the FOMC meetingWhilst the US dollar has mostly retraced over the past couple of weeks against FX majors, it has held its own against then Yen. In fact, momentum is now turning higher after forming a triple bottom ~139 and breaking above a retracement line.
The most traded price during the prior consolidation is 139.55, which could provide a level of support if prices retrace ahead of its next leg higher.
Take note that overnight implied volatility has blown out ahead of the FOMC, so be prepared for some volatility before the next major move takes place.
